The figure wears an ornate jewelled crown, heavy gold and gemstone necklaces, a jewelled waist ornament, a white dhoti and a white shawl, with rudraksha-style beaded strands and blue-rimmed medallions. A trident leans against the right side of the arch, and a green-and-red sleeved arm holds a small object.
